OPTIONS:
1. Complete kit – This kit has everything listed above, and is everything you need to complete this kit.
2. No cushion and needles – I offer this option for those who would like to purchase more than one kit. You will only need one set of needles and one cushion for multiple felting projects. Please note that I remove the cushion and needles from a complete kit for this option. The packaging will stay the same and will state that the cushion and needles are included even though they have been removed.
3. Kit W/Wool Cushion – This kit includes everything listed above except we trade out the foam cushion for our specially designed wool felting cushion. We designed it ourselves and manufacture them right here at Bear Creek with, you guessed it, our very own wool. This is a great choice if you plan on doing more felting in the future. The wool felting cushion should last you a lifetime where foam cushions need replacing in between projects. Bundled together here at a reduced price to get you started with the best supplies.
No previous felting experience is necessary however starting with a beginner kit would be easier. This kit does not require any sewing, knitting or crocheting skills.
The finished Bison will measure about 6Â XÂ 4Â inches depending on how firmly it is felted.
This project will take you about 4 hours to complete if this is your first time felting.
Our wool comes from a carefully managed flock of sheep raised on our North Dakota farm. We selectively breed for wool that felts exceptionally well—dense, consistent, and free of the slipperiness often found in imported or Merino blends. The result is a fiber that grabs quickly to the needle, holds its shape, and allows for smooth, even sculpting with less effort. This makes it ideal for creating solid, three-dimensional forms, fine details, and expressive features in your felting projects.
After shearing, the wool is washed and processed in our own fiber mill located in the renovated historic Nome Schoolhouse. By handling the entire process ourselves—from growing the wool to dyeing and packaging it—we ensure the highest standards of quality, traceability, and sustainability. This small carbon footprint approach not only supports our local economy but gives you confidence in the materials you use.
